Positions

Overview

  • The major focus in my laboratory is to study the role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors (TIMPs) in regulating corpus luteum architecture and function. By utilizing northern and western blotting, zymography, in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, and cell culture techniques, we have been able to identify the presence of MMPs (gelatinases, membrane-type 1 and TIMPs (e.g., TIMP-1, TIMP-2, TIMP-3) in the cow corpus luteum over the estrous cycle. We have also shown that TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 proteins decrease dramatically in sheep corpus luteum following a one-hour infusion of prostaglandin F2a (PGF2a).

    Recently, a second focus in my laboratory is to study age and growth, reproductive cyclicity and genetics of two skate species found in the Gulf of Maine. This information is vital to the development of a fisheries management plan for these two over-fished elasmobranchs.

    Utilizing the technique of ultrasonography, we also participate in a regional project examining the regulation of follicle development in cattle.
